were written on his bank account without his authorization.
The first check was issued to Mr. McCarty’s son, Christian,
age 21, for $100 and dated 18 Feb 13 and the second was issued
to Par Mar for $131.75 and dated 10 May 13. Questioned about
the check written to him, Christian admitted stealing the check
from his father’s checkbook and forging his father’s
signature. Christian said he did so because he did not have
a job and needed the money. Terry stated he recognized the handwriting
on the other check and believed it to be that of his other son,
Andrew, age 24. Andrew said he was with Christian at the Pit
Stop when his brother handed him the check to pay for gasoline
and other items. Andrew stated he assumed his father gave the
check to his brother but admitted it was wrong to forge his

Andrew for forgery and transported them to the Washington County
Jail.
